Search a vector of tuples?
by Robert Dailey 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Is there a method in the boost library to iterate a vector of boost::tuple objects, comparing the 1st element in the tuple of each tuple to a value that I specify? My tuple is setup like so: typedef boost::tuple<int, int, char const*> Tuple; typedef std::vector<Tuple> ErrorStringMap; ErrorStringMap mystrings = tuple_list_of (10, "10", "ten") (20, "20", "twenty") (30, "30", "thirty") (10, "10", "ten"); I want to search the vector of tuples and do something with every tuple that has the number 10 as the first element in the tuple.

[concept_check] addable

Hello all, Does this Addable concept definition make sense to you? Is there any error? #include <boost/concept_check.hpp> template<typename T> struct Addable { // User-defined concept. BOOST_CONCEPT_USAGE(Addable) { return_type(x + y); // Check addition `T operator+(T x, T y)`. } private: T x; T y; void return_type(T const&); // Used to check addition returns type `T`. }; It's not making Sun's linker happy: "/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC" -g -library=stlport4 -features=tmplife -features=tmplrefstatic -library=stlport4 -m64 -KPIC -o "/scratch2/kbelco/boost/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/local_function/test/typeof_seq.test/sun-5.10/debug/address-model-64/stdlib-sun-stlport/typeof_seq" "/scratch2/kbelco/boost/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/local_function/test/typeof_seq.test/sun-5.10/debug/address-model-64/stdlib-sun-stlport/typeof_seq.o" -Bdynamic -lrt -Bstatic -Bdynamic Undefined???first referenced symbol ??? in file void Addable<int>::return_type(const int&) /scratch2/kbelco/boost/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/local_function/test/typeof_seq.test/sun-5.10/debug/address-model-64/stdlib-sun-stlport/typeof_seq.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

[filesystem] #6521 Directory listing using C++11 range-based for loops
by Beman Dawes 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

Ticket #6521 requests adding: class directory{ path p_; public: inline directory(path p):p_(p){} directory_iterator begin(){ return directory_iterator(p_); } directory_iterator end(){ return directory_iterator(); } }; so that that a range-based for loop can be used: for (auto itr : directory(".")) { cout << itr.path() << endl; } The above works as expected on GCC 4.6 and VC++ 11 beta. Is that the best way for filesystem directory iteration to support range-based for? Provide a class directory_tree for recursive iteration? --Beman

Hi, I would like to know the 1.50 release calendar so that I can plan with Anthony Williams the merge to release of Boost.Thread of version 3. Which is the last day to merge to release a big change? Thanks for all, Vicente

[range] Question about adapted range safety given C++11 auto
by Beman Dawes 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3350.html claims: "Boost's range library focuses on defining a set of Range concepts that allow Containers to be Ranges. Because Containers are heavy-weight, this forces Boost to use references for all of their uses of Ranges, including Ranges that are captured by Range Adapters. This worked fine in C++98, where users couldn't name the types of the Range Adapters in order to declare local variables, but with C++11's auto keyword, users can now save adapted ranges. Since Boost's adapted ranges capture references to their arguments, which can be temporaries, this is no longer a safe design." Is this claim correct? If so, what's the real-world impact? --Beman

[context] [windows] Intel C++ and GCC Support?
by Joshua Boyce 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

I notice that Boost.Context only seems to support MSVC under Windows, and attempts to compile it under GCC or Intel C++ will fail because it's not correctly assembling fcontext_i386_ms_pe_masm/fcontext_x86_64_ms_pe_masm. e.g. Under Intel I get: intel-win.compile.asm > C:\Users\Josh\Documents\code\boost-trunk\bin.v2\libs\context\build\intel-win\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\link-static\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\asm\fcontext_x86_64_ms_pe_masm.obj '-c' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. > -c -Zp4 -Cp -Cx -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DWINVER=_WIN32_WINNT_VISTA > -D_WIN32_WINNT=_WIN32_WINNT_VISTA -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 > -DWINVER=_WIN32_WINNT_VISTA -D_WIN32_WINNT=_WIN32_WINNT_VISTA /Zi /Zd /W3 > -Fo > "C:\Users\Josh\Documents\code\boost-trunk\bin.v2\libs\context\build\intel-win\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\link-static\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\asm\fcontext_x86_64_ms_pe_masm.obj" > "C:\Users\Josh\Documents\code\boost-trunk\libs\context\src\asm\fcontext_x86_64_ms_pe_masm.asm" > ...failed intel-win.compile.asm > C:\Users\Josh\Documents\code\boost-trunk\bin.v2\libs\context\build\intel-win\debug\address-model-64\architecture-x86\link-static\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\asm\fcontext_x86_64_ms_pe_masm.obj...

This occurs for both 64-bit and 32-bit compilation. Is this a known issue with a planned fix? Or is MSVC the only compiler supported under Windows? (I know it's a pain because GCC afaik uses a different assembly syntax... Not sure about Intel.) As an aside, Boost.Context does not yet seem to have an entry in Trac. Thanks.

[Proto] Errors due to narrowing conversions in matches.hpp
by Michel Morin 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Some tests of Boost.Phoenix fail on clang trunk in a C++11 mode due to narrowing conversions of non-type template arguments, which are prohibited in C++11. Specifically, the narrowing conversions occur at Line 354 and 363 in boost/proto/matches.hpp. They can be simply resolved using `static_cast<bool>(...)`. Regards, Michel

[thread] Do we need thread_group now?
by Vicente J. Botet Escriba 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hi, now that we have Boost.Container and Boost.Thread (trunk) uses Boost.Move, boost::thread_group has less sense. I was thinking on replacing it by some generic algorithms as join_all, interrupt_all that work with generic containers so that the user can use the best containers adapted to her own needs. typedef boost::container::vector<boost::thread> thread_vector; { thread_vector threads; for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { threads.push_back(boost::thread(&increment_count)); } join_all(threads); } { thread_vector threads; for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { threads.push_back(boost::thread(&increment_count)); } interrupt_all(threads); } Could boost::thread_group be deprecated once these generic algorithm are released? Or, is there something really useful on the thread_group class that needs to be preserved or even improved? Best, Vicente

[iterator] iterator-category logic
by Jeffrey Lee Hellrung, Jr. 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

I'd like to ask Boosters' opinions on this. boost::iterator_facade determines the iterator_category via the logic outlined in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/iterator/doc/iterator_facade.html… In particular, if (a) CategoryOrTraversal is a Boost traversal tag; and (b) Reference is not a "real" C++ reference (i.e., a proxy reference); then iterator_category is at best convertible to std::input_iterator_tag. This ends up being surprising to users who use boost::iterator_adaptor (note that, by default, iterator_adaptor passes the Boost traversal tag of the adapted iterator down to iterator_facade) to adapt, say, a pointer, define their adapted iterator to return a proxy reference, and find out that their standard library functions don't recognize their adapted iterator as a random access iterator. The usual workaround tends to be to just override the iterator_facade logic yourself to use a more refined iterator_category and hope your standard library functions don't barf. For better or for worse, the present logic in iterator_facade is strictly (more or less) correct given the C++03 iterator requirements, but I just looked up the N3290 draft of C++11 and it appears that any requirements that *i return a real reference have been dropped, thus allowing for proxy references in all iterator categories. (a) Am I interpreting the C++11 iterator requirements correctly? (b) If so, should iterator_facade's iterator-category logic be reworked to account for the new requirements? (c) If so, how should it be determined when to use the C++03 requirements and when to use the C++11 requirements? Thanks, - Jeff
